RE: How do I unzip . . .

That is . . . how do I unzip a zip file. Specifically I have downloaded Cachemate, but it's a zipped file and I am unsure how to unzip it for use. Clicking on it brings up a message that asks what program do I want to use to unzip it . . . anyone have any suggestions for someone that is a mere two steps away from being a Luddite?

When you right-click on the file, do you have an "extract all" option? (4th item down on my computer...) You got Windows XP or what?

Nope . . . it does bring up a file that says "open with . . ." and gives me a list, but there's nothing that says "extract all". I have Windows 2000 here at work.

Incidentally, Bruce I really do appreciate you trying to help me here since (after being a long-time hold out of paperless caching) I am willing to take this first step to trying out the whole pc-type thing . . . even though so far it seems a lot more work.

Or upgrade to Windows XP! Sheesh! With Windows Vista coming out in a couple of months, prices for XP should be dropping a LOT! (I see that it's going for $70-$80 right now on eBay.)

Yes tell us how you like the Windows Vista addition Brice? I have not been paying much attention to it. I know Vista business addition is already out, but the home addition is not due until January. I know you took on the roll as as beta tester, so maybe you could shed some light on it for us?

Thanks guys . . . I took Parmachenee's advice and found an unzip program that appears to have unzipped the file . . . now I just have to figure out how to put things together so that I can use the Palm, GSAK, etc.
